The New World screwworm continues to be a major concern for livestock producers across the southern United States, but Texas agricultural leaders say coordinated efforts between state and federal agencies are helping contain the threat and protect animal health. On today's episode of AgNet News Hour, Texas Farm Bureau Director of Communications Gary Joiner provided an update on the latest developments surrounding New World screwworm detections in Texas and the ongoing response efforts. According to Joiner, the primary focus remains surveillance, rapid reporting, and immediate intervention whenever a case is identified. He noted that the pest was successfully eradicated in the United States decades ago and expressed confidence that modern technology and improved preparedness can help prevent widespread impacts today. “We beat this screwworm back in the 1970s,” Joiner said. “We can do it again. We've got better technology, better tools, and I think our farm and ranch community is better prepared.” Federal involvement has played a significant role in the response. Joiner highlighted the efforts of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and USDA officials, who have dedicated additional personnel and resources toward monitoring and controlling the pest. State animal health officials, wildlife agencies, and livestock producers are also working together under a coordinated response plan. One important measure has been the temporary closure of live animal imports from Mexico. While the move has created challenges for some cattle feeders who rely on imported livestock, officials say it is necessary to reduce the risk of additional infestations entering the country. Joiner emphasized that New World screwworm is an animal health issue rather than a food safety issue. “This is not a food safety concern,” Joiner explained. “There is no impact on the meat of the animal or on any other food products consumers enjoy.” Current detections have involved livestock as well as a canine case, underscoring the importance of vigilance among ranchers, veterinarians, and pet owners. Officials recommend promptly treating wounds, monitoring animals for unusual symptoms, and maintaining close communication with veterinarians regarding prevention and treatment options. The response strategy also includes the release of sterile screwworm flies, a proven method that disrupts the insect's reproductive cycle and helps reduce wild populations. Combined with trapping, surveillance, and rapid treatment protocols, officials believe the approach can effectively contain outbreaks before they spread further. While livestock producers remain concerned about the potential economic impacts of New World screwworm, Joiner said the industry is taking the threat seriously and working collaboratively to prevent a larger outbreak. As monitoring continues throughout Texas and other border states, agricultural leaders say awareness and early detection remain the most important tools in protecting the nation's livestock industry.

Canada Closes Border To Texas Cattle & Feedlot Placements New World Screwworm continues to make headlines this week. The USDA has launched a dashboard tracking the pest's impact in the United States, where cases remain isolated to Texas.  That information can be viewed at screwworm.gov. The bigger concern is the spread of cases in Mexico, which has kept the U.S. border closed to imports of Mexican feeder cattle. That comes at a time when beef demand remains strong and supplies are already tight. Cattle imports from Mexico have been restricted since July 2025, with the greatest impact being felt in border states. Feedlots in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico have traditionally relied on feeder cattle from Mexico. Recent data shows cattle-on-feed numbers in Texas and California are running below their five-year averages, while Arizona feedlots are seeing even larger declines. The discovery of New World Screwworm in Texas has also triggered new trade restrictions. Canada has temporarily banned livestock imports from Texas, saying animals that originated in or were present in the state within 21 days of crossing the border will not be accepted. Several U.S. states, including Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Montana, have also tightened veterinary requirements for livestock entering from Texas as officials work to prevent the pest from spreading further.

The June 12, 2026, Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural markets, regional corporate investments, and long-term weather forecasts. Market analyst Mike Zuzolo notes that wheat and corn surprisingly closed higher despite a bearish USDA WASDE report that lowered the season's average cash price for wheat by 50 cents. Zuzolo attributes underlying market support to strong domestic ethanol and export demand, though he warns that soybeans face downward pressure from competitive South American crops if corn and wheat fail to establish a bottom. In state news, the USDA outlined disaster recovery resources for Illinois farmers recovering from recent tornadoes, and Rural King announced a $75 million investment in a new headquarters in Mattoon, Illinois, which is projected to create 100 local jobs. The broadcast also highlighted an upcoming University of Illinois Extension field day focused on nutrient management. Concluding with an agricultural weather forecast, Eric Snodgrass reports that recent heavy Midwestern rains have restored critical soil moisture, thereby reducing the risk of severe heat in July. Furthermore, Snodgrass highlights NOAA's confirmation of a strong El Nino pattern, which is anticipated to produce a milder, wetter fall and winter that could complicate upcoming harvest and fieldwork schedules.- Ag Markets with Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com- WILLAg News Update for June 12, 2026- Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, NutrienAgSolutions.com ★ Support this podcast ★

This was a fun discussion about the serious issue of gasoline, diesel, and fertilizer price increases for farmers, ranchers, and consumers in California. Make no mistake, the actions taken by the Newsom administration have driven consumer prices to some of the highest in the United States. Gavin has taken California from almost energy independent to total dependence on imports.We have Mike Ariza, a downstream expert, who has been on the podcast several times. A great resource for boots-on-the-ground information on the California downstream market. Connect with Mike on his X account. @MikeAriza4531Also, we had Joseph Huitt, who is with the Bordin-Huitt California Almond Ranch. Check out their family products for honey and specialty almonds at https://bhalmondranch.com/1. California's Energy Crisis & Fuel DependencyMike Ariza, an energy expert, explains that California has become dangerously dependent on fuel imports (40% dependent). Two major refineries were converted to renewable diesel in 2023, taking 350,000 barrels of crude oil processing offline. This resulted in no gasoline or jet fuel production from those facilities. The Iranian conflict further disrupted supply chains, cutting off jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline shipments from Asian refineries. President Trump's waiver of the Jones Act allowed fuel from Gulf Coast refineries to reach California, preventing potential $10+ gasoline prices and shortages.2. Agricultural Challenges & Rising CostsJoseph from Borden Hewitt Ranch discusses the severe economic pressures on family farms:Red Diesel prices skyrocketed from $3.17/gallon in February to $4.79-$6.60/gallon by MarchFertilizer costs doubled from $300-$500/acre to $400-$700/acre due to Strait of Hormones closureAlmond prices have remained below the $2/pound break-even point for five yearsPayment delays: Farmers receive paychecks every 3-4 months, not weekly, creating cash flow challenges3. Water Rights & Agricultural RestrictionsJoseph describes severe water restrictions in California's San Joaquin Valley, where farmers are prohibited from irrigating during peak heat seasons (June-July) despite canals being full. Banks only finance half the land value due to water limitations, effectively halving farm viability.4. Regulatory Overreach & Equipment RestrictionsEPA regulations prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment without manufacturer accessA diesel mechanic was jailed for helping farmers and truckers repair enginesSoftware restrictions: Farmers can't access tractor software updates, limiting their ability to fix equipment independentlyTuning restrictions: Rice farmers need extra horsepower to navigate clay fields but face penalties if caught modifying engines5. GMO Seeds & Agricultural ContractsDiscussion about restrictive seed contracts where farmers must purchase new seeds annually and cannot replant saved seeds from previous years, creating ongoing dependency on seed companies.6. State Taxes & Economic BurdenMultiple taxes burden California farmers:Cap and Invest (called "Theft and Invest")Road taxes37 cents for bullet train funding80 cents for other state initiatives These taxes are passed directly to consumers through higher food prices.7. Food Supply Chain VulnerabilityIf California loses refinery capacity, diesel shortages would collapse logistics, resulting in:Only 3-5 days of food supply in metropolitan areasPort of Los Angeles unable to operateFood distribution across the entire country disrupted (LA is the largest food importer during winter)8. Family Farm Viability & Future GenerationsJoseph, at 25 years old, represents the challenge facing young farmers. While passionate about farming, he's pursuing a master's degree in biological science (studying avian influenza) because farming alone cannot support a family. His mother advised all children to pursue other careers while farming as a side activity—a common reality for modern family farms.Overall Theme: The podcast highlights how interconnected energy, agriculture, and regulatory policy are in California, and how state policies are making it increasingly impossible for family farms to survive while threatening regional and national food security.Hat tip to the Great John Rich for being named the Special Envoy to Farmers for the USDA.

The June 11, 2026 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, evaluated the contrasting environmental and structural shifts altering the global agricultural landscape. Ellen Dearden highlighted severe weather disparities across the US Midwest, where central Illinois recently faced excessive rain and wind damage, while portions of South Dakota and Nebraska continue to suffer from severe drought and expanding wildfires. Ted Seifried analyzed the subtle domestic demand adjustments and global production updates in the June USDA WASDE report, noting that while US ending stocks remained relatively flat, surprise production increases for corn crops in Brazil and Argentina present long-term competitive threats to US exports.The panelists further scrutinized fund flows and international demand dynamics, emphasizing that the recent market slide is heavily driven by index funds liquidating historic long positions as previous alternative energy and fertilizer supply narratives lose momentum. This speculative exit coincides with stagnant buying activity from China, which continues to meet its immediate processing needs through cheaper, high-volume South American soybean supplies rather than turning to the US. Consequently, Matt Darragh projected that the US may only realize about half of the USDA's targeted 25 million metric ton export volume to China for the 2026–2027 marketing year, reflecting the global pricing edge and storage advantages held by Brazil and Argentina. Additionally, the panel briefly addressed the risk of the New World screwworm, noting that its spread is primarily a hazard tied to livestock transportation patterns rather than simple fly migration.On the global front, Darragh shared insights from Kpler regarding the softening wheat and fertilizer sectors. Global wheat contracts continue to face downward pressure from high carryover stocks and intense export competition out of Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, though looming El Niño conditions could severely penalize Australian crop yields later in the season. Meanwhile, critical supply chain vulnerabilities persist in the fertilizer sector, where 37 vessels laden with roughly 2 million tons of fertilizer products remain bottlenecked in the Middle East Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. While down from a peak of 50 vessels in May, these ongoing logistical constraints and export limits from major producers threaten to trigger a delayed, severe impact on global crop production extending into the 2027–2028 marketing year.Panelists- Matt Darragh, Kpler - Birmingham, UK- Ellen Dearden, AgReview - Morton, IL- Ted Seifried, Zaner Ag Hedge - Chicago, IL ★ Support this podcast ★

USDA REPORT DAYThe June 11, 2026, Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural commodity markets, upcoming extension events, agronomic research, and global weather patterns. Jim McCormick of AgMarket.net noted that the USDA's June WASDE report introduced largely bearish global supply revisions for corn, wheat, and soybeans, contributing to lower market closing prices across the board. In agronomic news, Travis Meteer previewed the June 17 Dudley Smith Farm field day, an event connecting beef and row crop producers with University of Illinois researchers to discuss nutrients, water quality, and fertility management. Additionally, agricultural economist Gary Schnitkey highlighted findings from 11 years of Precision Conservation Management data, showing that utilizing no-till or one-pass light tillage systems—alongside maintaining nitrogen rates near the Maximum Return to Nitrogen limit—consistently provides the highest profitability for farmers. Finally, Mike Tannura of T-storm Weather reported that recent intense storms have sufficiently moistened the U.S. Corn and spring wheat belts, while looking abroad, a severe heat wave is expected to negatively impact crops in France, Italy, and Spain next week.- Ag Markets with Jim McCormick, AgMarket.net- June 17 Dudley Smith Farm Field Day Preview- farmdoc Webinar Explores Tillage & Nitrogen Practices- Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

While many farmers and ranchers had hoped New World screwworm (NWS) would stay well south of the U.S.-Mexico border, we're now all aware that wasn't in the cards for American cattlemen. With a few days to let that news sink in behind us, our attention turns to one question: Now what?Right off the bat we want to share something USDA, APHIS and the Texas Animal Health Commission have already stated: A) No one needs to panic. There is a plan in place, and we know how to eradicate this pest. B) NWS is an animal health issue, not a food safety issue. Meat remains safe to eat, and treated and inspected cattle can continue to move from affected areas.Tracking potential spread within the U.S., how to protect our herds and what the near future might look like for cattle movement in affected areas are top of mind. To help our listeners navigate this new information, Angus Beef Bulletin associate editor Lynsey McAnally was joined by Jennifer Koziol, associate professor of food animal medicine and surgery at Texas Tech University on the morning of Tues., June 9, to discuss recent announcements and what cattlemen need to keep in mind for the near future related to NWS.Additional resources: Screwworm.govConfirmed NWS Cases in the U.S. Current NWS Status in the U.S.Report a Suspected NWS Case U.S. NWS Response PlaybookSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAThank you to GeneMax® Advantage™ for their sponsorship of this episode. Have questions or comments?

Hot, sticky weather is conducive to insects, and Wisconsin's a perfect example. Kiley Allan gets a quick update on what new arrivals have made Wisconsin home from Dr. Emily Bick. Bick is a UW-Madison Extension Entomologist that tracks everything from armyworm to alfalfa weevil. Both of those insects pop up in this conversation. It's an alert day for much of Wisconsin. Warm, moist air and gusting winds will create some potentially severe weather statewide. Stu Muck focuses in on specific areas of risk. Summer fun is just around the corner now that the kids are exiting school. That fun can still pose safety risks. Chris Schlechta, Safety and Loss Control Officer with Rural Mutual Insurance says those fun outdoor activites need to be approached cautiously. Schlechta says when we're ready to go 4-wheeling, boating or building that campfire, our brains or in the "relaxed" mode. That can expose us, our friends and family to unexpected incidents. Schlechta presents some scenarios that make the point. New World Screw Worm is being found in more animal populations of the south. Could it make it to Wisconsin. PJ Leisch, UW-Madison Extension Entomologist says it's doubtful. Leisch does explain how the worm could still cause disruption for Wisconsin farmers. Keeping the focus on New World Screw Worm. Wisconsin's got a big heart when it comes to displaced pets. That's why many cats and dogs from places like Texas routinely end up in Wisconsin. What do we need to know about those rescue operations and the animals they're moving. Rod Bain with the USDA communications department explains.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Beckett compares grilling and steak grading to sports card grading, noting that both rely on labels and subjective “eye appeal” but can still disappoint. He explains how chefs and buyers judge ingredients by sight, how steaks are graded (prime/choice) yet may not taste like their grade, and how it's hard to “return the evidence” after eating. Comparing a cheaper USDA prime New York strip from Tom Thumb versus his usual Central Market purchase, he felt the steak tasted about a full grade lower despite looking similar. Beckett discusses trust in grading within limits, consistency, batch rhythm, pricing differences by venue, and parallels to card alteration and the need for truthful labeling, concluding that grading matters but isn't perfect and that collectors gravitate to trusted graders.   00:44 Foodie Grilling Mindset 00:57 Steak Grading Meets Cards 01:58 Sending Back Mistakes 02:48 Bargain Prime Experiment 06:23 Subjective Value and Trust 08:53 How Graders Get Rhythms 10:12 Mint to Black Label Steaks 10:50 Alterations and Disclosure      

State and USDA officials continue to monitor and try to contain confirmed cases of New World screwworm in the country. Congressman Chip Roy says eradicating the pest hinges on the number of sterile flies available to release in impacted areas.  Dairy farmers are in Washington this week and hopeful for progress on an ag labor bill. 

Grains start strong but struggle to hold gains; markets preparing for slew of data from USDA and other countries; talk of China buying Brazil soybeans.

According to the USDA, wheat ranks third after corn and soybeans with regard to its acreage, production, and farm receipts and is grown on roughly 37 million acres. Since its peak in 1981, wheat is now declining in acreage, down some 45 million acres which is perhaps the good news. Typically 1,000 acres in size, the average wheat farm is highly industrialized; as of 2020, some 150 different pesticides and herbicides were commonly sprayed on winter and spring wheat. Given the industrial scale of corn, soy, wheat, and cotton crops, heavy chemical usage of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides has become business as usual. Our guest in this show from 2023, Dr. William Davis, Cardiologist and Author of the books Wheat Belly, Undoctored, and Super Gut [https://drdavisinfinitehealth.com/about/], exposes the problem with our wheat addiction and has connected the dots between gut health and common modern ailments and complaints. He observed over 80% of the people in his cardiology medical practice were pre-diabetic or diabetic. In an effort to reduce blood sugars, he had patients remove all wheat products from their diet based on the simple fact that foods made of wheat flour raise blood sugar higher than nearly all other foods. In 1958, approximately 1.6 million people were diagnosed with diabetes; that figure has skyrocketed now to 36 million people in 2023. It is estimated that roughly 75% of the population suffers from either insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or diabetes. The source of diabetes can often be traced back to the opioid-like addictive qualities of wheat and grains. Inflammation, obesity, celiac disease, heart disease, insulin resistance, cataracts, accelerated aging, skin issues, and neurodegenerative diseases constitute just some of the myriad problems that can arise from continued consumption of modern wheat and the supposed "healthy whole grains" that we've been encouraged to eat for a balanced diet. Dr. Davis shares how eliminating wheat and restoring our gut microbiomes are the means by which we might reclaim our personal, collective and ecosystem health.

Today's Headlines: Trump attended the Knicks game last night, shutting down a 10-block radius around Madison Square Garden to sit with owner James Dolan and the usual suspects of administration figures — all of whom got to watch their boss get booed louder than the Spurs during the National Anthem. Trump spent the next morning posting at 5am that Israel and Iran must stop "shooting", which neither country is taking seriously given that strikes continued yesterday despite him reportedly calling Netanyahu directly to ask him to stop — again. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt officially lost the LA mayoral race to progressive Nithya Raman, who will face Karen Bass in November, and Trump responded by claiming without evidence that "two republicans are being cheated" in California, using the state's slow vote-counting as cover to pre-seed election fraud claims — a preview of his midterm strategy. In other news, five cases of flesh-eating New World screwworm have now been confirmed across Texas and New Mexico, with the USDA building a $750 million sterile fly factory in Texas to combat it, while RFK Jr. — according to multiple colleagues — has shown "little interest in managing the details of his department" and is instead hunting for evidence that vaccines are harmful, receiving almost no Ebola briefings, and leaving nearly half of NIH's 27 institutes without permanent directors. The Pentagon accidentally deleted Mormons from its approved religion list, added them back after Senator Mike Lee lost his mind, then failed to classify them as Christians — a three-step own goal that somehow happened in one week. And OpenAI filed its IPO paperwork with the SEC, becoming the third trillion-dollar AI company to go public after Anthropic and SpaceX, in what was described in an unsigned blog post as something they're announcing only because "we expect it to leak" — which is a strange way to announce a trillion-dollar IPO.
